A scalable framework enables phenome-wide association of structural variants in biobank cohorts
The authors present KGGSV, a scalable and secure end-to-end framework that successfully harmonized 3.68 million structural variants across nearly half a million UK Biobank genomes to enable a large-scale phenome-wide association study, revealing thousands of significant SV-trait associations and unique structural risk loci independent of single-nucleotide variants.
